Why is it important?
The method results in an overall ~60% increase in data productivity and efficiency. It also allows autonomous seismic drones to navigate optimally through sub-satellite resolution obstacles.
Perspectives
This article is one of the first documented case studies where UAV imagery refines a geophysical data acquisition plan. It is also the first documented study where a camera-capable UAV works in tandem with an autonomous seismic acquisition UAV.
